I get the whole thing about how your brain interprets color based on how it perceives shadow, but I don't understand why some people's brains cause them to see it one way, and some another.
In the very large picture in the link, I see white-gold when I'm looking at the top and blue-black when I'm looking at the bottom. It might have to do with what part of the background you naturally looked at first. The top of the photo has two bright flares in the background, which could make you think that they're behind the foreground and therefore the foreground would be in shadow, while the bottom of the background does not and it's easier to perceive the dress as illuminated the same way as the rest of the picture.
In this case, it may be less a matter of different brain function and more a matter of initial screen viewing angles or something like that.
